Winehouse far from edge

July 08, 2008

In a candid interview, Amy Winehouse told Rolling Stone that her recent troubles -- canceled tours, photos of her stumbling shirtless outside her home, stories of drug use -- were a result of her heartbreaking separation from her husband.

"To be honest, my husband's away, I'm bored, I'm young," Winehouse said in an interview that began at 4 a.m., when Winehouse surprised the reporter by inviting her into her house for a beer. "I felt like there was nothing to live for. It's just been a low ebb."

But Winehouse doesn't feel she's in dire straits. "It's never been like, 'Amy, get your life together,' " said Winehouse, whose husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, is in jail for assault.

The skinny soul singer said she's on a "strict pizza diet" to put on weight.
